KRAMBLER'S ROUNDS.
The Republican's Scribe Abroad.
Having some business in connection with the Old Reliable, at Knightstown, I went there Monday, and all I met were cheerful and happy. While I was there I visited the Orphans' Home. This is a grand and beautiful place, and under the kind efficient management of Prof. A. H. Morris, everything is kept in perfect neatness, as he is always- busy going here and there, and constantly answering calls from different sources. The little ones come to him as to a father, and lay before him their little troubles, and he is always ready with a kind word of sympathy, and then tney run away, satisfied, to their play. The devices for the amusement of the children are many, and they are happy in the enjoyment of them. They all seem as If they were enjoying the luxury of their parents roof-tree, and in fact I believe that four-fifths of them are more kindly cared for, and enjoy better comforts than if they were under their parents' care. They have every advantage for procuring an education, ss they have efficient corps of teachers, also of learning a good trade, for they have a good foreman over each department of industry, and if a child leaves the institution without being fitted to fight the battle of life, it will be from no omission on the part of the management. I visited the different departments, and the ones in cr.arge appeared to be patient in their endeavors to have the children learn the various trades that are taught them. The Professor kindly devoted an hour or more to showing me about over the beautiful grounds and through the main building, the sleeping apartments, dining-room, kitchen etc. He took pains to explain the workings of the Institution, in each department, and they are all admirable. The grounds and buildings are well supplied with waterworks that supplies water wherever it is needed. Wm. Casely, from Rush county, has charge of the engine. W. M. Perkey is the baker, and has six boys under his charge, and the way they can handle that part of the business is immense. A. M. Troxellis florist, and the many beautiful flower beds that ornament the premises and the finely arranged green-house, indicates a full knowledge of his business. He has six boys to assist him in this beautiful art. J. H. Koch man is foreman of the tailoring department. He usually has between 18 and 20 boys and girls assisting in this important capacity. He showed me suits that were being turned out for fall and winter wear, they are of jeans, neatly and substantialy made, and a»e designed for comfort, and the boys dressed in these, trimmed with bright soldier buttons, will make no bad appearance. He also showed me the boys' band suits, and they are neat and handsome. There are 15 boys in the band, and they will play at the laying of the Corner-stone of the Soldiers' Monument, on the 22nd of August, at Indianapolis. D. F. Copper, an old patron, formerly of Fortville, is foremen of the shoe shop. He has 22 boys learning this trade, and to see how obedient and patient the little fellows are in trying to learn, inspires one to use more patience and industry in their own vocation. Mr. Copper showed me shoes that were made by a boy IB years old, that would be hard for our old shoe makers to beat. The Home Journal, a paper devoted to educational interests, is published there. R. A. Martin was formerly editor, but has resigned, and it will not be issued for a few weeks, until the vacancy can be filled. About 18 boys were learning the art. Dossie Freeman was local editor. Eli Lutz has charge of the carpenter shop, and is teaching several of the boys to be skilled mechanics. Squire Cooper is farmer, and has 8 or 10 boys employed at this healthful occupation and the condition of the crops and garden indicate that they have not been idle. Clara Richardson is cuttcr and instructor in the sewing department, and has 24 girls learning to cut and make their own clothes. There is no doubt but that they will go forth better trained to do this very necessary work than most of the girls that are being brought up in their parents' home. Josephine Johnson has the laundry under her care, and the neat and cleanly appearance of the children show plainly that she and her assistants do their work well. There are several other vocations in which the children are being schooled, in order to make them useful men and women, that I failed to mention, but suffice to say that under the judicious management of those in charge everything is done decently and in order. There are about 450 children on the roll at the present time. The buildings are lighted with electric light. Tliey have a nice lake with boats, for amusement, but the children are always attended properly when they boat ride. Mr. Morris showed me through the stable, the horses are sleek and in splendid order, by the way, the Prof, has a carriage horse of his own that is a beauty. We then went through the new Hospital that is in course of construction. This building is to be provided with every convenience tor the comfort of patients, and it will cost over $6,000 when completed and stands about 40 rods north o£ the main building, over which the stars and stripes wave majestically above the heads of the little ones, whose fathers, the "Boys in Blue fought so gallantly to defend, and brought it through triumphantly, let it wave as a momento of those who died in its defense. Long may it wave. As we had gone the rounds, and I had enjoyed a most pleasant hour with the Prof., he took me kindly by the hand and bade me God speed. I went my way, feeling assured that Mr. and Mrs. Morris were the right
mm

ones in the right place. At Knightstown I took occasion to call on a few of our old patrons and found them smiling and happy. Mr. Wilkinson was busy weighing grain which was of fair quality.
R, M. Forbes's saw-mill was humming loudly, and everyone about there was busy. Mr. Forbes will read the REPUBLICAN in the future, as will the two Mr. James, of the saw-mill. Omer Hackleman, an old patron, is head sawyer there.
I formed the acquaintance of F. E. Weaver, proprietor of Weaver's Jewelry Store. He has a nice line of goods, and is a fine fellow. I am sorry to note that Frank is in poor health. He is better now, however.
Of course I called on our friend, Hunter Bradford, editor of the old reliable Banner. He is pleasant and oociable, notwithstanding the many trials that naturally beset him as an editor. He informed me of an error that their fair directors committed by ignoring the splendid band of their town, and choosing some little tooters up on Honey Creek. Verily the workings of these Association? are mysterious. Mr. Bradford, in speaking of the trials with which the editor had to contend, showed me a little piece of scripture in his paper, taken from The Printers' Auxiliary, which I think is worth repeating for the benefit of our tardy few, it runs something like this:
An editor works 365|" days per year to get out fifty-two issues of a paper that's labor. Once in a while somebody pays him a year's subscription that's capital. And once in awhile a son of a gun of a dead beat takes the paper for a year or two and vanishes without paying for it that's anarchy. But later on justice will overtake the last named creature, for there is a place where he will get his deserts that's hell.
Comments on this are unnecessary, it stands undenied. Walking down the street I met Capt. Paulus. who chanced to be there in his buggy, alone, and although I had a return ticket I accepted Mr. Paulus' invitation to ride behind White Cap, feeling confident that he, at least would be in good company. We arrived at 11 p. m.
To be a skillful workman should be the ambition of the farmer as well as the mechanic, Men of the highest attainments, in every calling, are always in the ascendency. But how is it with the farmer in general? An idea here seems to prevail, and with some degree of accuracy, too, that with the farmer it is a matter of "luck," that the successful ones are those that are so fortunate as to inherit or marry into a good farm, or are born with the proverbial "silver spoon in the mouth" in some other way. The reason why I say that the matter of luck seems to influence farmers more than other men, is that they evidently have less appreciation for the force and utility of brains or skillful attainments. But to look at the matter in its true light, we can see that the advantages of science, skill, and a high degree of ingenuity is equally as potent, necessary, and valuable with farmers as with any class of men.
It is peculiar to some men to especialy excel in one branch, while with others their talents are of the opposite order, inclining toward a versatility of attainments. Among the latter class we should look for the best farmers. It is not sufficient that a man should know how to manage a fractious horse, drive a four-horse team, plough a straight furrow, or even raise a good crop of grain under favorable circumstances, but it is equally as much in his line, and to his credit, to be an adept at some veterinary work, do a little doctoring upon occasion, to pickle a barrel of good meat, to make a batch of sour-kraut, trim a fruit tree, set a hen or some cabbage-plants, thin abed of radishes, and do a score more of useful things.
And yet I think I am safe in saying not one farmer in fifty will go into a garden and properly set a plant or use a hoe or rake. And it wont take long to tell where their mistakes are. In setting plants the custom is to press the dirt on top instead of on the roots and leaving the soil loose on top. And in hoeing the invariable practice is to hack the ground and hill up everything instead of using a shuffling motion to loosen the soil and hill up only what needs it, I have had hands actually get quarrelsome and refuse to obey orders
The Nail Works.
The company who will bring and operate the Nail Works here desire the parties who agreed to take lots to call at the Greenfield Bank, comply with the conditions, and receive the deeds for their lots. It is the desire to close this matter at ouoe so that the removal of the works may be completed at the earliest possible time.
rllfcc
quicker the buildings are erected and work begun, the sooner we will reap the benefits which will be derived. There should be no delay, but all should act promptly.
Obituary.
Andrew L. Herr, a son of Casper Herr died last Sunday morning at 8 o'clock from typhoid fever. Mr. Herr was an unmarried man 32 years of age and had been sick but one week. We were not personally acquainted with Mr. Herr but understand that he was a most estimable young man. The family have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.
